Haircuts For Headway
Has your hair become overgrown and unruly in lockdown? Why not seize the scissors and give yourself a home haircut!
Donate the money you’ve saved from not going to the salon and make a HUGE difference to the people and families we support. Or planning a more extreme haircut? See if your friends and family will sponsor you to go Bald for Brain injury!
Local Landmark Challenge
To take part in the Local Landmark Challenge, simply walk, jog, cycle or run any distance taking in your favourite local landmarks. That could be anything from your local church, park, statue or even post-box! Distances over 5k qualify for the challenge and you can run the total distance over multiple runs and multiple days.
Whatever your age or ability you can join the nation and take part in the Local Landmarks Challenge!
Pass The Baton…
Here’s one to engage all your family, colleagues or friends: why not organise a relay race?! In virtual teams of 4 or more, combine your stamina, strength and fundraising powers to complete a half or full marathon in 5k or 10k blocks (or any length you can safely complete) and raise money for Headway East London.
Don’t let geographical distance get in the way: this can be done nationally or even internationally, “passing” the baton by sending a text or a selfie to the next person, who then begins their portion of the distance. On your marks…get set….GO!

Dance Marathon
Who remembers the infamous dance marathons of Headway East London past? We raised a staggering £50,000 over the years, from dancing alone.
Turn your speakers up, dust off your dancing shoes, get those Christmas fairy lights out and transform your living room into the dance floor.
You could make an open Spotify playlist with anyone else who has an account and dance through the decades.
We’d love to hear from you if you have your own idea for a fundraising challenge, email the team at support-us@headwayeastlondon.org
